Battery tray floor assembly for electric vehicles

A tray floor assembly for a vehicle battery tray, said tray floor assembly comprising:

• a plurality of elongated tray sections that attach together to form a substantially planar floor structure that is configured to support vehicle batteries;
• wherein the plurality of elongated tray sections each extend longitudinally and parallel relative to each other and each comprise a transverse cross-sectional profile that is substantially consistent longitudinally along its length;
• and
• wherein the cross-sectional profile of at least one of the plurality of elongated tray sections includes a thickness between an upper surface and a lower surface of the floor structure that increases laterally across a width of the cross-sectional profile.

A battery tray for an electric vehicle, said battery tray comprising:

• a plurality of elongated tray sections that extend longitudinally and together to form a floor structure of the battery tray that has a substantially planar upper surface that is configured to support batteries that supply operational power to the electric vehicle;
• wherein the plurality of elongated tray sections comprises outer tray sections on opposing lateral sides of the floor structure that each have a wall portion that partially forms a peripheral wall structure that surrounds a battery containment area of the vehicle battery tray;
• and
• wherein the plurality of elongated tray sections comprises an inner tray section disposed between the outer tray sections and having a thickness defined between the upper surface and a lower surface of the floor structure that is greater than a thickness of the floor structure at the outer tray sections.
